The NuPhy Field75 HE is as fine a demonstration as the come that custom keyboards are advancing faster than ever. The waters, placid for so long, are getting choppy. And it’s all thanks to magnetic switches. Manufacturers typically known for their productivity boards — NuPhy, Keychron etc — have got their eager little mitts on the same Hall Effect switches used in today’s elite gaming keyboards, and are employing them just as effectively as the big boys over at Razer, Corsair and SteelSeries.
The result? The custom keyboard world is currently in the midst of an arms race, with manufacturers vying to produce Hall Effect keyboards that are as good for gaming as they are for productivity, if not better. The Field75 HE is NuPhy’s most gaming-focused Hall Effect board thanks to its high polling rates and range of secondary gaming features like bindable shortcut buttons, Cherry profile keycaps and customizable firmware.
